, In recent years, increasing attention has been

focused on the problem of crime in our commLmities. The citizens of Ohio have become justifiably con­cerned about violence on the streets; lawenforce­ment personnel have been called upon to handle expanding responsibilities; and courts have been staggering under mushrooming caseloads. Each day, newspapers and radio and TV newscasts bring new evidence of violence into our living rooms. Too often, however, this is the only information we receive, and we hear only part of the story - the worst part.

Little has been heard about the routine work done everyday by law enforcement officers to pre­serve the peace in our neighborhoods and protect our people. We have not known the real probability that one of us will actually be a victim of crime. Enough information simply has not been available to know what the total situation really is.

I have been deeply concerned abollt this lack of information because I feel that the people of Ohio should be able to realistically assess the problem for themselves.

In late 1975, the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identi­fication and Investigation of this Office assumed responsibility for collecting Uniform Crime statis­tics from Ohio's law enforcement agencies for the FBI. We are proud to be one of 42 states partici­pating in this program. As a direct result of our participation, we now are able to provide the com­prehensive information about crime in Ohio that has been unavailable in the past.

My special thanks to the participating Sheriff's Offices and Police Departments throughout Ohio. Without their (~fficient and time-consuming record-keeping and reporting, this publication would not have been possible. As of this printing, all 88 Ohio Stleriff's Offices are participating in UCR.

It is with great pleasure, therefore, that I present the following report to the people of Ohio.

Foreward

The Uniform Crime Reporting program is entirely dependent on the voluntary submission of crime reports by law enforcement agencies j and the indi w

vidual efforts of every law enforcement officer in Ohio. Partially funded through the Law Enforce­ment Assistance Administration, UCR was originally implemented to provide management informa-tion to the law enforcement community. However, as the level of criminal activity increased, many other interest groups have wanted and needed information about the extent of crime in Ohio.

Crime in Ohio 1976 presents detailed information about Ohio crime for the first time. It is hoped that this information will not only address the informa­tion needs of law enforcement managers and plan­ners, but will allow citizens to realistically assess the problem for themselves.

History of Uniform Crime Reporting

Although the impetus for collecting nationwide crime information dah3s back to the 1890'sl no ongo­ing program was initiated until the Committee on Uniform Crime Records of the International AssocIa­tion of Chiefs of Police (lACP) was established in 1927, This Committee's responsibility to provide management information to law enforcement agen­cies was eventually turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 1930, when the FBI received a Congressional mandate to collect and disseminate national crime information. The IACP has continued to serve the Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR) in an advisory capacity, and has been joined in this responsibility by the Com­mittee on Crime Records of the National Sheriffs' Association.

UCR receives crime information through volun­tary reports submitted by individual law enforce­ment agencies across the country. In 1966. the FBI began coordinating UCR data collection through designated state level agencies which report statewide information to the FBI each month. Ohio is pleased to be one of 42 states now participating in the state level UCR program.

Objectives of Ohio UCR Because increasing attention has been focused

on the problem of crime in our communities in re­cent years. many segments of our population need more complete information for a variety of reasons.

Citizens are understandably concerned about the possibility of becoming victims of crime, but may not know what the real probability is. Law enforce­ment professional$, r:nanagers and administrators who must focus on crime in their own jurisdictions, also need to know what is occurring in surrounding jurisdictions in order to deploy personnel and equipment most efficiently to protect oitizens and bring crminals to justice. Legislators need statewide information about crime in order to pass realistic laws that will increase the stability of our society. Resea.rchers and planners need to know what is actually happening to predict trends and recommend changes.

The goal of Crime In Ohio is to identify the nature and extent of criminal activity in this state and pre­sent the information needed by ~ach of these groups. This information wiil not in itself prevent crime, but it may encourage all segments of society, by understanding the problem, to work together with law enforcement agencies to reduce crime through more effective enforcement.

The objectives of Crime In Ohio are:

5

1. To identify the nature and extent of crime in our st~te;

2. ''(0 provide the management Information needed by tha law enforcement community to augment their ability to attack the crime problem;

3, To provide our citizens with the most complete information available;

4. To provide legislators with the information neces­sary to formulate laws which address the crime problem; and

5. To include sufficiently detailed data for re­searcl1ers and planners.

Considerations for Interpretation - •

Statistics are a tool used to summarize informa~ tion so t!~at patterns or trends become clearer. All statistics must be interpreted with an understanding of just what it is that they can say. Too often, num­bers of the type in this report are used incorrectly to draw conclusions that the statistics simply do not support. In order to avoid this error, it is necessa,'Y to know what information is included and how it Is reported.

To obtain accurate information from many differ~ ent agencies, the national UCR program had to precisely define the methods for counting such information as the number of offenses, arrests, clearances and value of stolen or recovered property. The methods of counting and some resulting limita.,. Hons are explained below.

Classification of Offenses

UCR divides offenses into two major classifjca~ tions which are designated Part I and Part 1/ of­fenses. This distinction is important to keep in mind because different information is collected for each. Part I offenses include 1) Violent Crimes: murder and non-negligent manslaughter. negligent man~ slaughter, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated as­sault; and 2) Property Crimes: burglary, larceny (theft) ahd motor vehicle theft. All other ~ffe"ses are classified under Part II (see Offense Definitions sec­tion, page 8 ).

Part I offenses. excluding negligent manslaughter, are used to calculate the Crime Index and Crime Rate (see sections entitled Crime Index and Crime Rate, pages 7 and 8 ).

All offenses are classified on the basis 6f lawen ... forcement officer investigation in accordance With UCR offense definitions (which will not necessarily be identical to State Code definitions). Because UCR identifies a Police problem, offense classifica~ tions are not based on the findings of a court, coroner, jury or decision of a prosecutor.

Counting of Offenses

The number of offenses is counted only for Part I crimes and simple assault. The method of count.'1g varies with the type of crime committed, and it is important to remember that the number of offenders does not determine the number of offenses.

For murder and non-negligent manslaughter, neg­ligent manslaughter, forcible rape, aggravated as­sault and simple assault, one offense is counted for each victim, regardless of the number of offenders invulved.

For robbery and larceny, one offense is counted for each distinct operation which is separate in time and place. The number of victims in anyone opera­tion does not determine the number of offenses. For example, if 20 people are robbed in a bar at the same time, only one offense has occurred. However, if that robber then leaves the bar and holds up a passerby, a second offense has occurred.

For burglary, one offense is counted for each structure Which is illegally entered. HowGver, when the structure is an apartment house, or business or office building in which Units are leased for a period of time, one offen sa is counted for each unit burglarized.

For motor vehicle theft, one offense IS counted for each vehicle stolen.

Note: Attempts to commit any of the above are also counted as offenses, except that attempts to kill and assaults to kill are counted as aggravated as­sault.

For multiple offens~s that occur in one crime inci­dent, only the most serious offense is counted. Purt I crimes are ranked according to seriousness and appear in order from most serious to least serious under "Classification of Offenses," above. Example: A robber takes a man's wallet and then beats him causing serious injury. Both a robbery and an ag~ gravated assault have occurred, but because rob­bery is consider'ed by UCR to be more serious, only the robbery is counted. From one perspective, this method of counting seriously understates the crime problem, but from another, it prevents undue infla­tion of crime statistics.

Note: The number of offenses is not counted for Part 1/ offenses.

Arrests

Arrest information is collected 'for all Part I and Part II offenses according to the age, sex and race of the offender. It is not possible, however, to corfe­late race with sex or specific ages because the in­formation is collected independently, thus limiting analysis. Furthermore, arrest figures cannot be directly related to the number of crimes cleared because arrest totals count all offenders arrested for each offense, and clearance totals count only the offenses for which an arrest or arrests have occurred.

Clearances

An offense is considered cleared (solved) when at least one offender is arrested for a crime, even though several may have been involved1•

Clearances are counted as "adult" and "juvenile". A "juvenile" clearance is counted only when juveniles are exclusively involved in the clearance of an offense. If the arrest of both adults and juveniles results in a clearance, it is counted as an "adult" clearance.

Note: Not all crime~ are cleared within the calen­dar year in which the offense ocwrs.

Property Stolen and Recovered

The figures for value of property stolen and reca;\"­ered report the value at each point in time. Although property can increase in value over time, it is more likely that stolen property will be recovered in a damaged condition. Because this value is the one reported, it does not necessarily represent a "clear­ance rate" for stolen property, and one cannot use it to determine police or sheriff effectiveness in recov­ering stolen goods. Because stolen and recovered property figures indicate thefts and recoveries in the current year, it is important to note that recovered property may have been stolen in a previous year. In addition, the type and value of stolen or recovered property is reported only for Part I offenses and does not include such Part 2 offenses a\~ fraud, forgery or embezzlement.

Reporting Variations

Ohio now re('eives Uniform Crime Reports from 419 law enforcement agencies. Because the number of reporting agencies is so large, one must be aware

lOffenses may also be cleared by exceptional means when the offender: commits suicide; makes a dying declaration; confesses while In oustod:> or serving time for another crime; is prosecuted in another Jurisdiotion for the same offense; is a Juvenile who is handled by notifying the parents; or when the victim refuses to prosecute or another JUrisdiction refuses to extradite the offender.

6

that unintentional variations from UCR guidelines may occur that would affect the validity of the data presented here.

Offense totals will probably vary frOfrt the actual number of offenses that occur because UCR statis­ticas are based on crimes that are reported to law enforoement agencies and many crimes are not re­ported.

Information Grouping ...... The crime statistics reported by an individual

agency indicate what is happening in one particular area, but to make rational comparisons among a number of jurisdictions, communities with similar characteristics need to be grouped together. It may be important to know how a city compares with cities of similar size, or how patterns of crime differ in various types of communities. Grouping agencies with similar characteristics allows these determina­tions to be made. Aside from being mere!y interest­ing, such comparative analysis provides the basic information for long-range criminal justice planning.

UCR groups jurisdictions on the basis of popula­tion size and community type, both of which are necessary to view a jurisdiction in proper perspec­tive. Grouping by population size considers only the population of the relevant area. It does not consider proximity to a major metropolitan area in spite of the fact that widely different crime patterns could be expected in a city of. 20,000 which is a suburb of Cleveland or Cincinnati and one which is in a rural area. Grouping by community type does take into account the urban/rural character of the area, and includes a wider range of populations in each cate­gory. For use in interpreting this report, the UCR grouping systems are listed below.

Community Types

Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA): A core city and the county within which it is located, plus surrounding counties which are socially and economically integrated with the oentral county and Which are metropolitan in character 2•

Core City: . Any city with a population of 50,000 or more that IS

within an SMSA.

Suburban City: Any city that is within an SMSA .

Rural City: Any city that is outside an SMSA.

Suburban County: Any county that is within an SMSA.

Rural County: Any county that is outside an SMSA.

Crime Index .... Wi H

The Crime Index is a basic measure of orime which can be used for comparing the extent of crime among cities, counties and states of similar size. The Index is simply the total number of certain offenses that occur in a given area in one calendar year. These offenses are murder and non-negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny and motor vehicle theft -all of the Part I offenses except negligent man­slaughter.

These offenses were seleoted as Indicators of the total amount of criminal activity because they are serious offenses that are the focus of widespread concern; they occur with sufficient frequency to re­fleot flUctuations in the overall level of criminal activ­ity; they are most likely to be reported, and reporte? accurately, to law enforcement officers due to their seriousness; and, they are offenses that can be clearly and specifically defined.

Notwithstanding its usefulness, the Index does have limitations. The relationship between the Index offenses and total criminal activity, both reported and unreported, has never been firmly established. The varying severity of offenses is not taken into account, resulting in equal weight being given to a shoplifting and a forcible rape. Furthermore, the ac­tual incidence of crime in a city may not be accu­rately depicted by the Index if the majority of the city's crime involves non-Index offenses such as gambling and narcotics.

1 St ndard Metropolitan Statistical Area; see "Community Types." .. 25% 2s:cially and Economically Integrated: At least 15% of the workers living in the adjacent county work in the central county or at Jeast 0 of those working in the adjacent county live in the central county.

Metropolitan Character: At least 75% of the labor force is engaged in nonagricultural work.

7

Crime Rate b ••

The Crime Rate is based on the Crime Index, but adjusts the Index for variances in population by in­dicating the number of Index offenses for each ~OO,OOO persons. This means that comparisons may be made among several areas with different popula­tions, or within one area with different populations over a period of time, without the information being biased by population differences1. For most general comparisons, the Crime Rate is probably the most accurate figure to use.

To calculate the Crime Rate, first divide the popu­lation of the area by 100,000, and then divide the Crime Index by that answer. For example, if a city has a population of 273,000 and a Crime Index of 21,257, the calculations would be:

1) 273,000 divided by 100,000:= 2.73 2) 21,257 divided by 2.73 = 7,786.4

Thus, although the city's Crime Index is 2'1,257, its Crime Rate (the number of crimes for each 100,000 people) is 7,786.4.

The calculations are the same for a city with fewer than 100,000 inhabitants. A city has 45,000 popula­tion and a Crime Index of 1,588:

1) 45,000 divided by 100,000 = .45 2) 1,588 divided by .45 = 3528.9

The Crime Rate is higher than the Index because it indicates the number of offenses that would have occurred if the city had had 100,000 inhabitants.

Risk Factor .

The Risk Factor, which has been calcUlated for each Index offense, indicates the likelihood that an individual Ohio citizen or his or her property would have been the victim of a particular crime. Because the Risk Factor identifies the risk to each individual, it differs from the Crime Rate which specifies the number of offenses for every 100,000 people.

Interpretation: If the Risk Factor states "1 in 273 People," it should be interpreted to mean that one person was victimized by that crime for every 273 people in Ohio.

Risk Factors have been computed for 1975 and 1976 for each Index offense 2 to point Ollt whether the degree of risk has increased or decreased. If the Risk Factors for a particular crime are:

1975 1 in 273 People 1976 1 in 265 People

the degree of risk increased from 1975 to 1976 be­cause there was one crime f'or a fewer number of people in 1976 than in 1975. Thus, each individual was more likely to have become a victim. However, if the Risk Factors are:

1975 1 in 273 People 1976 1 in 295 People

the degree of risk decreased from 1975 to 1976. This is indicated by the fact that there was one crime for a larger number of people in 1976, and consequently, each individual was less likely to have become a victim.

The interpretation is the same whether the risk is stated for people, residences, businesses or vehi­cles.3

Offense Definitions Uniform Crime Reporting, as a nationwide pro­

gram, receives information from more than 16,000 law enforcement agencies in 50 states. Because ti­tles and descriptions of crimes can vary widely among state codes, it was necessary to ensure that each agency would define offenses the same way. For this reason, UCR established the following stan­dard offense definitions:

Part I Offenses

Criminal Homicide: a. Murder and Non-negligent Manslaughter: The willful, non-negligent killing of one person by another. Excludes attempts to kill and assaults to kill (classified as aggravated assault), suicide, acci­dental death and justifiable homicide 4•

b. Negligent Manslaughter The killing of another person through gross negli­gence. Includes traffic fatalities.

'Factors other than population that also Influence crime rates inclUde level of economic activity and unemployment; the CUltural, religioUS, ractal and age mix of the population; the time of day, day of the week, or the season of the year; local standards and enforcement policies; proximity to a metropolitan area: and, transience of the population, among others.

?1975 offense figures for robbery by location were not availablo and a comparison Risk Factor could not be calculated for that year.

3 The FBI provided the population estimate; the Ohio Chamber of Commerce provided the number of residential units, chain and commercial stores, service stations and banks; and, the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles provided the number of cars, tl'ucks and buses, and other types of vehicles.

4Justiftable homicide is the kllling of a person by a law enforcement officer in the line of duty or the killing c.f a person in the act of committing a felony by a private person.

8

Forcible Rape: The carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will. Includes rape by force or threat of force, assault to rape and attempted rape. Excludes statutory rape which is based on the victim's age.

Robbery: Taking or attempting to take anything of value from a person or persons by force, or threat of force or violence and/or putting the victim in fear. Includes assault to rob, strongarm robbery and armed rob­bery.

Aggravated Assault: An unlawful attack by one person on another for the purpose of inflicting severe bodily injury or death, usually accompanied by the use of a weapon that is likely to produce death or great bodily harm. In­cludes attempted murder and attempted aggravated assault when a non-personal weapon (not part of the attacker's body) is used, even though there is no injury. Attacks using personal weapons (part of the attacker's body) must result in serious personal in­jury to be classified as aggravated assault. Excludes simple assault.

Burglary: The unlawful entry of a structure to commit a felony or a theft. It is not necessary th(!', torce be used in the entry or that a loss result from it. Includes attempted forcible entry.

Officers Assaulted and Killed

-Law enforcement officers are often confronted

with emotionally charged, critical situations which might result in injury or death. In 1976, contributing agencies reported 2,330 officer assaults,1 at a rate of '17 assaults for every 100 officers, 46 percent of whom sustained injury.

Responding to disturbance calls resulted in the highest rate of assault - 24 percent, followed by arrests for offenses other than burglary or robbery - 23 percent, and traffic pursuits and stops - 20 percent. Firearm and cutting instrument assaults occurred more often during disturbance calls than during any other type of activity, and personal weapon and other dangerous weapon assaults were most frequent during arrests for offenses other than burglary or robbery. The officer assignment which most often resulted in an assault was a two man vehicle, which accounted for 37 percent, followed by a one man vehicle when the officer was alone, for 26 percent, and a one man vehicle when the officer was assisted, for 22 percent.

Personal weapons, such as hands or feet, were employed in 85 percent of all assaults and ac­counted for 87 percent of all injuries.2 Considering assaults according to the type of weapon used, those involving dangerous weapons excluding firearm::;, cutting instruments and personal weapons were most likely to result in injury - 55 percent of the time, while those involving firearms were least likely to do so - 23 percent of the time.

Fifty percent of all assaults occurred between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m., and only 5 percent between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m.

The most potent combination of all factors in 1976 assault situations was a one man vehicle when the officer was alone and involved in a traffic pursuit or stop; between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m.; confronting an offender Who had only personal weapons 3

• Second was a two man vehicle responding to a disturbance call and a two man vehicle involved in an arrest other than for robbery or burglary; during the 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. time frame; involving personal' weapons.

Officer assaults were cleared 96 percent of the time.

Ohio Index Crime

';."

I ntrodu ction "Ohio Index Crime" is presented in three parts: 1)

an overview of crime in Ohio, 2) individual reports for each Index offense1 and stolen property, and 3) detailed statistical tables. The Overview compares Ohio and national crime rates for the last decade and deals with the Index offenses in general terms. Indi­vidual Index offense reports describe each offense in more detail, primarily through the use of charts and graphs. Stolen property is described by Index offense and average losses for each type of offense. The final section of tables presents detailed statis­tics to supplement the offense reports and respond to precise information needs.

The number of Index offenses reported to law en­forcement officers is the basic measure of yearly fluctuations and long-term trends in criminal activ­ity. It is important to note that not all Index offenses are reported to law enforcement agencies, and no victimization studies are included in UCR statistics. Furthermore, because UCR is a voluntary program, not all law enforcement agencies report crime statis­tics. The FBI's UCR section does, however, formu­late estimates of cr,lme for these agencies based on similar cities in the same state. Unless otherwise indicated, all tables, graphs, charts and references in this report refer to the number of offenses actu­ally reported to law enforcement agencies in Ohio. Use of estimated figures is limited to discussions of crime rates and the percent change in the number of offenses from previous years.2

Ohio Overview Over the last ten years, Ohio has experienced sig­

nificantly fewer Index crimes, both violent and prop­erty, per 100,000 people than the nation as a whole. Specifically, Ohio's total estimated crime rate has averaged 12.4 percent less than that for the nation; the violent crime rate 23.4 percent less; and, the property crime rate 16.3 percent less. In fact, until 1975, Ohio's total crime rate was lower than the na­tional property crime rate alone.

This does not mean that Ohio has escaped being confronted with an expanding crime problem. In the last decade, Ohio's crime rate has grown more rapidly than the nation's3, and did so to a lesser

degree in 1976. This growth has taken Ohio from 21.5 percent below the national crime rate in 1966 to only 5.6 percent below in 1976. Nevertheless, Ohio's crime rate is still lower than the average for the na­tion.

Violent crime represented almost 8 percent of Ohio crime in 1976, and according to preliminary figures, about 8.7 percent nationally. Property of­fenses comprise the remainder.

The 1976 total estimated Ohio Crime Index re­mained at virtually the same level as in 1975, in­creasing by only 0,04 percent. Violent crime wa$ down by 5.7 percent and property crime was up by 5.2 percent. The change in the number of individual Index offenses from 1975 to 1976 closely approxi­mates the national trends with the exceptions of a substantially greater decrease in robbery, and a sig­nificant increase in aggravated assault.

There were 318,433 reported arrests for Part I and Part II offenses in 1976.4 Adults accounted for 74 percent of these arrests and juveniles for 26 percent; males of all ages for 84 percent and females for 16 percent. By race, 71 percent of those arrested were white, 28.5 percent black and 0.5 percent of other races.

The age and race arrest groupings, in order of frequency are:

White/18 years. & older 51 percent

Black/18 years & older 28.5 percent

WIlite/under 18 years 20 percent

Black/Under 18 years 6 percent

Others/all ages 0.5 percent

The three age groupings with the highest arrest rates are the same for both males and females: 15 to 19 years old, 20 to 24 years old, and 25 to 29 years old, in descending order of frequency. These ages account for 64 percent of all male arrests and 62

llndex offenses include: Violent offenses: murder and non-negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault; and Property offenses: burglary. larceny and motor vehicle theft.

2Figu~eS indicating cri~e rates and the percent of change In the number of offenses are based on FBI estir~atlons for 100 percent of ~hio ~ pop~iatlon. Estimates of the probable number of ,offenses OCCUrring in non-reporting Jurisdictions are based on similar Jurisdic­tIOns 10 OhIO. Because there were more agencies reportmg UCR crime statistics In 1976 than in 1975, the true Increase or decrease for any offense would not be indicated by a comparison of the reported number of offenses for each year.

percent of all female arrests. Many researchers at­tribute this bulge in arrest rates in part to the post World War II baby boom, the leading edge of which is now in their early thirties and the trailing edge in their mid-teens.

Males of all ages are arrested in far greater num­bers than are females, at a rate of more than 5 to 1. Among juveniles, males account for 79 percent of the arrests and females for 21 percent. Considering all age groups, the highest number of arrests occurs at age 17 for males and age 16 for females, with the second most arrest-prone age occurring at age 18 for males and age 15 for females.

Crime In Ohio1

Clearance rates were from 2 percent to 6 percent higher for each Index offense except aggravated as­sault which dropped one percent. Juvenile arrests cleared 6.3 peroent of all 1976 offenses, slightly higher than the 5.8 percent in 1975. Overall, 21 per­cent of all Index offenses were cleared compared to 19 percent in 1975. Thus, the 0.04 percent increase in offen<}es was more than balanced by the 2 percent increase in clearances. In view of the fact that the number of law enforcement officers dropped by more than 10 percent from 1975 to 1976, it is particu­larly noteworthy that greater than 13,000 more of­fenses were cleared in 1976 than in 1975.

Murder - =- i. Definltion:

The willful, non-negligent killing of one person by 2,nother, excluding attempts to kill, assaults to kill, sIlicide, accidental death and justifiable homicide,

Murder is the most serious of the four violent Index offenses, In 1976, there were 766 murders in Ohio, which represented 2 percellt of all violent crime and less than 2/10ths of one percent of the totallndex,1 The greatest number of murders in one month was 83 in July, followed by 77 in February, Cuyahoga County, of which Cleveland is the main population center, accounted for 283 murders or 37 percent of the total.

The estimated number of murders2 not only de­clined by 10,6 percent from the 1975 level, but also by 2.4 percent from 1971. A steady decline by sub­stantial increments has been evident since 1974 when there was an all time high of 952 murders. Nevertheless, murder has risen by 71.4 percent since 1966,

Ohio's murder rate dropped from 8,1 per 100,000 people in 1975 to 7.4 in 1976, and was lower than the preliminary estimate of 8,6 for the nation, However, the current rate is substantially higher than the 4,5 in 1966,

The Risk Factor indicates that there was 5 percent less chance that any Ohio citizen would become a victim of murder in 1976 than in 1975.

Due to the seriousness of this offense,. more de­tailed information is collected concerning victims, offenders, weapons used and the circumstances in which the offenses took place, than for any other' offense, Murder victims were 18 or more years old 90 percent of the time, male three-fourths of the time, 56 percent Negro and 43 percent white. Three­fourths of the offenders were 18 or over, 64 percent were male, 17 percent female3, 50 percent Negro and 33 percent vyhlte,

Handguns were used in 49 percent of the murders and firearms of all types in 68 percent.

The situations most frequently resulting in murder were argumentfJ and fights which accounted for 44 percent of the murders. Robbery was second at 13 percent and burglary third at 3 percent. Drug related situations occurred in only 1 percent of the cases,

The clearance rate for murder was 84 percent, the highest for any Index offense, and was 6 percent higher than in 1975, In both years, juvenile arrests cleared 4 percent of the murders.

Forcible Rape ..... Definition: The carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will including rape by force or threat vf force. assault to rape and attempted rape, but excluding statutory rape.

There were 2600 forcible rapes and attempted rapes reported In 1976.1 This represents 7 percent of all violent crime and 0.5 percent of the total Index. Forcible rape accounted for 82 percent of all rapes, the greatest number of which, 234, occurred in Au­gust, followed by 226 in June, More than 40 percent of the year's forcible rapes were reported from June through September. The months of July and August, with 59 each, had the highest frequency for at­tempted rape.

The estimated number of 1976 rapes2 Showed a slight Increase of 1.4 percent from 1975, a 38.8 per­cent increase from 1971 and an 86.5 percent in­crease from 1966. Preliminary calculations Indicate that the -\1-dmber of rape offenses nationally will re­main ur.:~I:l£1nged from 1975. Rape has traditionally been one of the most under-reported crimes. How­ever, as a result of changing laws and victim coun­selling in recent years, the rate of reporting rapes is increasing,3

The rape rate per 100,000 people was 25.8 in 1976, a minor increase from 25.3 in 1975. Although the rate at which rape occurs within the population Is usually calculated on the basis of the number of offenses per 100,000 inhabitants. both male and female, by UCR definition only females can be vic­tims. TherefofO, the number of rapes in Ohia per 100,000 females was 50.6 in 1976, an increase from 49.6 in 1975. The forcible rape rate in 1976 was 38.9 per 100,000 temales. The 1976 national rape rates were 26.1 for the entire population and 51.2 for females only based on preliminary estimates.

The Risk Factor indicates that women were al­most 6 percent more likely to be the Victims of rape, both attempted and -forcible, in 1976 than In 1975, with a much greater Increase occurring in the chances for attempt"d rape.

Rapes were cleared 59 percent of the time in 1976, up 4 percent from 1975. Juvenile arrests accounted for /half of this increase, clearing 5 percent of all rJ'tpes In 1975 and 7 percent in 1976.

3Although the FBt has traditionally estimated that only 1 rape in every 10 is reported. the National Crime Panel now estimates that It is 1 rape In 3. Rape Crisis Centers In two major Ohio metropolitan areas report that 49% and 65% of their clients eventually reported rapes to the pOlice in 1976. In Cuyahoga County. the number of reported rapes has almost doubled from 1970 to 1976. the largest increase for any Index offense,

Robbery ., .. LWA ..... Definition: Taking or attempting to take anything of value from a person or persons by force, or threat of force or violence and/or putting the victim in fear, including assault to rob, strong-arm robbery and armed robbery.

The 19,065 robbery offenses in 1976 represented 49 percent of all violent crime, its largest compo­nent, and almost 4 percent of a!llndex crime.1

Considering all types of robbery, the greatest number of offenses -1971 - took place in Decem­ber. This was also the highest month for commercial store, service station and residential robbery of­fenses. January was highest for chain stores, Janu­ary and March for bank robbery, and November and December for highway robbery.g

A total of $5.5 million was stolen during Ohio rob­beries in 1976. December accounted for the highest dollar losses from all types of robbery - $646,622. For the twelve month period, both the greatest number of offenses - 9681 - and the largest dollar losses - $2.4 million - resulted from highway rob­bery. Understandably, banks, with the lowest number of offenses, had the highest average loss per offense.

Firearms were used in 50 percent of the robberies and other dangerous weapons, excluding cutting instruments, in 38 percent.

The estimated number of robberies3 decreased for the first time in a decade and showed the largest decrease for all Index offenses, down 20.5 percent from 1975. There were also 11.4 percent fewer rob­beries than in 197"1, but 175.6 percent more than in 1966. Robbery has increased more in the last 10 years than any other Index offense. Preliminary fig­ures for the nation indicate that robbery decreased by ten percent.

The robbery rate per 100,000 people decreased from 220 in 1975, its highest point in the last ten years, to 183.8 in 1976, but this is still almost three times the rate of 69.2 in 1966. Based on preliminary figures, the 1976 national robbery rate is 194.9.

The Risk Factor indicates a wide disparity in the potential for becoming a robbery victim between banks and service stations on the one hand and residences and individuals on the other, from as high as 1 in 7 banks to a low as 1 In 2046 residences.

Robberies were cleared 31 percent of the time in 1976, an increase of 2 percent from 1975. Juvenile arrests cleared 6 percent of the robberies in both years,

Aggravated Assault = $2E2U •

Definition: An unlawful attack by one person on another for the purpose of inflicting severe bodily injury or death, usually accompanied by the use of a weapon that is likely to produce death or great bodily harm. In­cludes attempted murder.

There were 16,251 aggravated assaults in Ohio in 1976 which totaled 42 percent of all violent crime and about 3 percent of the total Index.' Simple as­sault is primarily differentiated from aggravated as­sault by the seriousness of the injury and the weapon used. Considering both types of assault, aggravated represented 29 percent of the total.

Both the greatest number of aggravated assaults and the largest number with firearms and cutting instruments occurred in July. Other dangerous weapons were used most frequently in August and personal weapons in June. More than one third of all aggravated assaults Involved the use of personal weapons,2 and 28 percent involved firearms.

1976 showed the largest increase from 1975 of all Index offenses, jumping by 1004 percent at a time when preliminary figures indicate a one percent de~ crease nationally. Aggravated assault was 56,7 per­cent higher than in 1971 and 162.8 percent higher than in 1966.

The rate of aggravated assault per 100,000 in­habitants was 171.1 in 1976, an increase from 154.6 in 1975 and more than double the rate of 67.8 in 1966. However, Ohio is still well below the national average of 223.5.

The Risk Factor indicates that there was a 14 per'" cent greater chance of a person's being the victim of aggravated assault in 1976 than in 1975.

It WOUld, therefore, seem significant that aggra'" vated assault was the only Index offense that had a lower clearance rate in 1976 than it did in 1975 - 64 percent compared to 65 percent. Juvenile arrests cleared 8 percent of the aggravated assaults in 1976 and 7 percent in 1975.

Burglary .M De. alA 'pr&1D

Definition: The unlawful entry of a structure to commit a felony or a theft, with or without forcible entry or loss.

In 1976, Ohio experienced 119,802 burglaries.1

This represented 26.5 percent of all property crime and 24.4 percent of the total Index.

Risk Factor: 1975 1 in 37 Residences 1976 1 in 48 Residences

1975 1 in 65 Residences at night 1976 1 in 85 Residences at night

Table 8

Ohio Burglary by Month: 1976

By Type

Burglary offenses were rather evenly distributed throughout the year, and attempting to pinpoint the months with the highest numbers of specific types of burglaries would be misleading. However, there were somewhat more offenses during the last six months - 52 percent. Forcible entry occurred in 4 out of 5 burglaries of all types. Less than half of the residential burglaries occurred at night, and these accounted for 30 percent of all burglaries. Almost two-thirds of the non-residential burglaries occurred at night.

Month Total Forcible Force Attempt

Total losses from burglary amounted to $43.4 mil­lion, 71 percent of which or $30.5 million, resulted from residential burglary. This figure represents 4 cents out of every $100 of Ohio personal income in 1976.2 Residential burglary averaged a 16 percent higher loss per offense than non-residential, $408 as opposed to $351. By month, the greatest average loss for all types combined was $447 in November. Almost 30 percent of the dollar losses for all types of burglary combined and for residential burglary alone occurred in the last 3 months of the year, and for non-residential burglary in July, August, and September.

The estimated number of offenses3 in 1976 de­clined by 6.4 percent from 1975, but was up 28 per­cent from 1971 and 154.4 percent from 1966. Ohio's decline in burglary exceeded the national decrease of 5 percent, according to preliminary figures.

The current Ohio burglary rate of 1203.2 offenses per 100,000 people is almost 20 percent lower than the nation's rate of 1439.3~Ohio's drop from 1271.4 in 1975 is the largest decrease from a preceding year in the last decade. It is still, however, more than double the rate of 490.7 in 1966.

The Risk Factor indicates there was a 30 percent lower chance that a residence would be burglarized in 1976 than in 1975, and a31 percent lower chance that such an offense would occur.at night.

The clearance rate for burglary rose by 3 percent from 1975, to a total of 19 percent in 1976. Juvenile arrests cleared 5 percent of the burglaries in 1975 and 7 percent in 1976.

Larceny M ... ___________ • ____ ~--------------a .... Definition: The unlawful taking or stealing of property from the possession of another without the use of force, vio­lance or fraud, Including attempted larceny, but ex­cluding motor vehicle theft.

Larceny continued to be the largest component of the Index, accounting for 293,564 offenses in 1976.1

This represents 65 percent of all property crime and 60 percent of the total Index.

Although larceny offenses that resulted in less than a $50 loss were excluded from the Index until 1973, all tables and reference~ in this report Involv­ing previous years have been adjusted to include this category2.

May through August accounted for 37.5 percent of all larcenies, the greatest number of whi.ch resulted In losses of $50 to $200. Almost one half of all offenses involved t~lefts from motor vehiclE)S3 and of motor vehicle parts, Thefts from motor vehicles occurred most frequently from January through March, and motor vehicle parts were stolEtn most often in March and October. As for all types of lar­ceny combined, these two offenses were least likely in December. Pick-pocketing and purse snatching represented the smallest component of larceny-i. 7 percent, with purse snatching occurl'ing most often in December. Shoplifting amounted to 8.9 percent of the larceny offenses reported,

Larceny losses totaled $43.7 million. As might be expected, the largest dollar losses, 65 percent of the total, resulted from offenses Involving amounts of $200 dollars or more. The average dollar losses ac­cording to the value of the offense were: under $50-$23 average, $50 to $200-$114 average, and over $200-$521 average.

The estimated number4 of Ohio larceny offenses rose in 1976 by 5.4 percent over 1975, compared to a national increase of 5 percent, according to prelimi­nary figures. Current larceny estimates represent an increase of 52.4 percent from 1971 and 153 percent from 1966.

The present larceny rate of 2978.2 offenses per 100,000 people is higher than the national rate of 2924;'8.nd is the only Index offense that occurs more frequently in Ohio than in the nation as a whole. The larceny rate for 1975 was 2808.6 and for 1966 was 1220.9.

The Risk Factor indicates that each individual in Ohio was 19 percent more likely to have sustained a loss from theft in 1976 than in 1975.

Clearance rates rose from 17 percent in 1975 to 16 percent in 1976, with juveniles accounting for 6 per­cent in each year.

Motor Vehicle Theft :ar

Definition: The unlawful taking of a motor driven vehicle j ex~ cluding motor boats, construction equipment, airplanes and farming equipment.

There were 38,369 motor vehicle thefts in Ohio in 1976, which amounted to 8.5 percent of all property crime and 7.8 percent of the total Index.1 Motor Ve~ hicle thefts were evenly dispersed over the entire twelve month period, however, thefts according to type of vehicle stolen did show some high points. Trucks and buses were stolen most often in October, vehicles such as motorcycles and scooters in June, July, and August, and cars only slightly more often in March and October.

The estimated number of 1976 motor vehicle thefts2 decreased by 13.5 percent from 1975, and 32.4 percent from 1971, but increased by 66.6 per­cent from 1966.

The rate of motor vehicle theft per 100,000 people was 378.1 in 1976, a significant decline from 426.4 in 1975, but an increase from 235.5 in 1966. Ohio is well below the 1976 national rate of 438.1, based on preliminary figures. Although the rate of motor vehi­cle theft is generally calculated on the basis of the

Table 12

number of thefts per 100,000 people, the number of thefts per 100,000 vehicles provides additional in­formation. This rate was 517.1 in 1975 and 479.6 in 1976.

The Risl< Factor indicates that there was an a per~ cent lower chance that any vehicle in Ohio would be stolen in 1976 than in 1975; a 12 percent higher chance that it would be a truck or bus; an 8.4 per­cent lower chance that it would be a car; and virtu­ally the same probability that it would be any other type of vehicle.

Of the vehicles stolen in Ohio, 76.5 percent were recovered. Motor vehicle thefts were cleared by ar­rest 17 percent of the time in 1976, an increase from 14 percent in 1975. Juveniles cleared 6 percent of the offenses in each year.
